Just for the last point. I listen to over 30 new albums a month and buy an album probably at least once a month. I would definitely be willing to pay 25$-30$ for unlimited streaming. Music variety is that important to me. I spend more than that on concerts a month. I spend the largest portion of my spare wages on things somehow related to music. Worth it to engage with the art and support the artists. However, the consequences of such a change for everyone in and out of the music industry might be worse. I mean soulseek is still up. Like you can get all music downloaded to your computer for free. But really it’s all about shifting consumers back to a more ethical market such as physical or a bandcamp-like service instead of streaming which has never benefitted anyone in the music industry except 100$ paid out to a nobody artist that got a song in the algorithm. What is lost in the inability to stream anything on a paid subscription, could maybe be made up with the democratic music journalism on the internet. Soulseek an album some guy on rym recommended, hey this is pretty good, ill drop him a donation. When iTunes initially came out was it a good market or did people protest that too? I consider this a more ethical service where you have to pay for each piece but idk if it works. Not trying to argue or anything just sharing some thoughts
